Bella furrowed her brows when the woman did not let her pass. She had already nodded and took a step away but the woman followed her steps and kept blocking her away.
"Do you need something from me?" she asked with a frown as she did not remember meeting any woman with jewels and fancy clothes.
"I am Leona. I am the trusted servant of the baroness." baroness? Bella had heard the name too many times in the Caffer house. The one who rules this land. But why would she come for her? An ominous feeling rose in her heart but she pushed it away.
"It is my honor to meet one serving your ladyship. I would have stayed and introduced myself better but I was taking care of kids. And i could not find them now. I must go and look for them before they fall into any trouble." her voice was soft and yielding but her eyes were sharp and demanding as if she would not take a no for an answer.
Leona laughed, an amused look as if she had heard a joke.
